THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

Tribco in LALALand is trying to add to its CV by being a flackhouse for Vegas. Now the rag touts how Sin City is spending umpteen zillions to be HIP. There's a story here someplace, and it's probably not an entirely flattering one -- after all, one of the big developments, Kirk Kevor...KERKORIAN's CityCenter, was predicated on the HOUSING BOOM -- but even if Vegas is "upupUP", as with riots in Kenya we don't expect the hacks to have the slightest idea what any of it means.

Our flack also touts that Vegas is becoming an exclusive playground for the megarich, which should especially help when the rest of the world has a recession.

A NEUHARTHISM OF THE WEEK AWARD TO DEBORA!
